Scrapbooking in UK

My sister and I managed to fit in some time to do some scrapbooking whilst on holidays - usually in the evenings.  Here is 49 and Market Kaleidoscope album I created and finished today back home. A few of the pages follow.

I love Kaleidoscopes and I admit that when I see one in shop I always put up to my eye and am bewildered by the patterns they make. So, when I saw a kit with this name and colour of course had to purchase it - in USA when I was there in May this year.  I precut all the paper before I left Australia so that I could carry it easily and be ready to start.  You will see that there are no photos yet, I still need to print some out.  
The album has lots of interesting bits and pieces - on the left at the top there is a pocket - I have raised it for the photo.  I can add more photos onto this also photos will be put into the frames.  Throughout the album you will see white and black photo mounts.
Another pocket full of lots of embellishment and tags for adding notes.
These pages fold into each other.  On top is an interactive opening with room for more photos under.
I love the papers in this kit - some pages I left relatively simple to showcase the papers.
A couple of more pages that showcase the papers.
                                      

With some of the leftover paper I made this layout.   Thank you for looking, Margaret

January Cyberchallenge - punched flowers.

Image
Images:(c)1990-2010 Stampin'Up(r) Artwork:Margaret L Crawford Our INKlings cyberchallenges have began for 2010. Tonight our leader, Jayne is setting the challenges. Our first challenge is to use SU punches to make a paper flower and use it on a card, scrapbook page or 3D item. I have used the round scallop punch (each flower has 3 punched scallops), cut a small way into each scallop and then pushed back to create a 3-D effect then I added a rhinestone brad to the centre of each flower. I used my markers to colour the leaves and then spritzed with water before adding to card. Challenge 1 completed.

Time stands still

Here is another layout I have created recently.  I have decided to post it for a challenge at ARTastic - I hope they allow more than one entry as I have already done one layout for their May challenge - Scrap the Girls. This photo was taken when I met up with friends that I attended TAFE with many years ago.  We completed the Advanced Needlecraft Certificate at Hornsby TAFE and became firm friends during this time.   But as life goes on we lost contact - until Facebook got us back together 20 years later!..  They caught the train up and we had lunch and much catch up at my home before a walk on the beach.   Again here is the inspiration photo at ARTastic, the criteria Girls Only. I was further inspired by a layout by Emily Pitt found on   Debbie Hodge  from 2013 that I found whilst blog surfing. Thank you Debbie I have left some thanks for you on your blog. Thank you for looking, Margaret.
